Yet the number of people who didnt know they were upgraded to Win10 until after it ran for the first time indicates that your awareness is at least unreliable.
Where is the evidence for your claim? My experience with my Windows 7 -> Windows 10 upgrade was such that there was a nagware screen from the system tray that afforded me the option to upgrade or not upgrade. It was a limited time offer. I decided on my own accord that (while I disagree with this in principle) that because of my gaming preferences I wanted to have the latest and greatest DirectX stack. I realize Microsoft has a habit of making you upgrade in order to gain access to the latest DirectX stack to take advantage of the features of the latest 3D graphics hardware but for free? Why not? I found there was some work involved in customizing Windows 10 to fit my security and privacy preferences but I was able to do most of that in about an hour. I did have to do some registry hacks for things that were not exposed via the UI including disabling Windows Telemetry but I was able to do what I wanted to do with Windows 10 after I customized it to suit my personal preferences.
Also before you start complaining about that experience you should know as many Slashdot readers do when you use a *nix distro (and I've used several) you have to go through the same customization to make the distro suit your personal preferences. In fact, there are significantly more customization options in *nix than Windows.
I never encountered anything that suggested to me that if I did not upgrade to Windows 10 that the upgrade would be pushed to me. I also never encountered anything that modified my Chrome and Firefox settings so until I see some hard evidence it appears to be hyperbole based on my own hands on experience.
I mean you can disagree with the way Microsoft operates and there have been a plethora of articles full of valid criticism on those throughout the years but I have not seen one single shred of evidence for this claim and I have multiple laptops and PC's running various versions of Windows including 7, 8 and 10.
Well - that's inspiring,and all - but I don't know what it has to do with the issue at hand.
Not surprised it flew over your head. It means your expectations have no evidence to substantiate they can even exist in reality. If you find that's the case, all time and energy spent pursuing unobtainable conditions or things, is WASTE. However, you're free to waste your life as you see fit.
And when someone wakes up to find Windows 10 installed over their Windows 7/8/8.1 setup, doesn't that mean that their previous Firefox/Chrome default has now been changed...against their will? So most of this market share "gain" is really an attack, disruption or theft.
This is hyperbole. First of all, you can't upgrade to Windows 10 silently that I'm aware of. Second of all, no one can force money to come out of your wallet, pay for software and install it thereby accepting the terms and conditions of the End-user License agreement. So no, it's definitely not theft. Your idea is analogous to purchasing a firearm, shooting off your own foot and claiming the gun manufacturer is at fault.
It's still a turd of an operating system.
The only reason they can show higher adoption numbers is because they FORCED it on people.
I'll probably get modded down for this because I respond the same way every time and get modded down because apparently some people don't like to deal with reality and problems at hand. While what you say is true, the reason why people don't adopt alternatives is because they can't run all their favorite software including games on *nix and OSX. Steam and Indie games are starting to go cross platform more than in the past but isn't enough. You also have NVIDIA/ATI drivers that are optimized best on Windows and the problem of open source developers not getting access to enough source code to create comparable drivers. When Ubuntu/Mint/CentOS and Apple solve these problems, Windows will ride off into the sunset. Until then, it's going to be around for some time to come.
Apple is not responsible for your social welfare on the public highway transportation system. Who are you going to sue next? Stereo console, climate control and screaming kids? Are you going to sue [insert party here] for not patenting an auto shut-off mechanism for screaming kids when being present in a moving vehicle?
This is actually a federal and state policy issue and a law enforcement issue as well for providing general safety. Using facetime in a vehicle is very similar to driving drunk. You are incapacitated owing to the lack of cognitive focus on driving. You should be penalized accordingly including license suspension and revocation.
Liberals, you need to stop acting spastic and grow a brain. You can't even direct your concerns to the right venue and in directing them to the wrong venue, you will damage our free enterprise system that you also rely on, thus doing twice as much harm!
No this is fixed point wireless. Not mobile. Don't people read
It doesn't matter. Whether it's a cable modem, dialup, wireless fixed or not fixed, it's a communication channel to access resources on the internet. Even though there are different technologies the companies and their technologies are in competition with each other and Verizon and AT&T have a history of not being competitive with any of their offerings trying to convince people that new cool this and that are worth a premium price and they clearly are not and there is no demand in the market for it. Free markets are about being competitive. Jump in, get wet.
Facebook is up against the same problem that took down Usenet - the tragedy of the commons
So basically what you're saying is the human condition is responsible for the stupid shit that human beings do. That's like stating the obvious and there is no amount of government regulation, religion or anything else that we know of that will solve the problem and create a perfect utopia. We have the entire history of the human race as evidence. I'm tired of hearing people bitching and complaining about things they can't control and then try to scapegoat it on someone or something. Life isn't perfect but it's the only life you get! Get busy living it instead of wasting it!
And of course, it delivers malware that because you're trusted to the recipient, they'll infect their PC with, thus introducing a new vector in addition to the compromised ad servers and malware delivered via email...
The reason there is a malware/ransomware epidemic is because it runs on stupidity and there is an abundance of it on the internet. It's hard to cure because of the Dunning Kruger effect.
I imagine Verizon in particular plans to deliver 5G service for 10x faster cell service so you'll hit your data cap that much more quickly. Not interested. On the other hand, if cell service could become more competitive with broadband internet and better consumer devices were available to connect your home devices up to it without additional expense, I might be interested. I don't find it valuable enough to be able to watch Netflix anywhere on any device to pay a premium price. I'll just go home and watch it on my HD TV and 7.1 surround sound system.
...it probably is. Don't try to find some app to watch movies for free as an alternative to paying for them via approved, signed applications and you most likely will not get ransomware. If you try to find "free" stuff, you're playing the malware equivalent of Russian Roulette.
On the note of resetting firmware, for most TV's you normally do this via the remote and the menu. However, in this particular case that won't work. There should be a way to physically hard-reset any consumer device to factory defaults without requiring an OSD. The reasons you might need to do this go beyond malware such as a power outage during a firmware upgrade or maybe (gasp) the consumer device manufacturer pushed a bad software update, bricking your consumer device.
There is actually a way to reset your LG firmware without using the OSD though. Go to LG's website: http://www.lg.com/us/support/s..., search for your TV model, then click on your TV's model number (found on the back of the TV). You will see modal dialog that has two links, one to the firmware and one to the software upgrade guide. The software upgrade guide walks you through the steps to put the firmware on a USB drive and upgrade it without needing to use the OSD. I found this youtube video that walks you through the whole process as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Don't go drama on tech support which in a lot of cases is outsourced to call centers full of low income incompetent idiots. If you want something done right, figure it out and do it yourself. Be your own tech support.

Now that I agree with. Many tickets have been opened with Mozilla and some ivory tower developer over there basically said "deal with it". So I switched to Chrome.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The problem with Moore's Law is that you're assuming that we're using faster computing technology to serve up the same content faster. Nay. People used to serve up content that was realistic based on available computing power. When the computing power increases people think "I wonder if we could do this fancy thing now" and then the computing requirements increase. Did you notice that smart phones have to be replaced every couple years because as Google and Apple make their OS more fancy it runs slower on older hardware and drains the battery more. It's the same exact problem. Seriously, you need to get more educated in this field if you want to attempt to talk intelligently about the problem domain.
it is more a failure of having the right people (engineers) at the right positions

Where performance gets tricky is load balancing requests across web servers so that you can scale up to a large number of simultaneous users. That usually doesn't have much to do with the actual software design. It requires good, experienced architects to write good, snappy, scalable web portals. Sadly most companies don't want to pay for it so they settle for half-baked solutions.
Ok, I am very astonished by this question "Why are browsers so slow?" which since you're most likely a millenial you might as well re-phrase the question as "Why are browsers slow AF?"
No offense but you obviously have no idea what a slow browser really is. Try Netscape 6 or IE6 and let me know if you think Chrome is still slow. First of all, are you sure you can attribute all the slowness to the browser itself? Did you crack open the modern browser developer tools that we all have now (hint: Firebug and Chrome developer tools didn't used to exist until a few years ago) and look at the network tab or equivalent to make sure that the web server/REST service/whatever isn't taking a long time to serve back data? Better yet try profiling your own javascript code with console.log, console.time/console.timeEnd. Since you can use an identifier, you can even do it asynchronously, how fancy is that? I seriously doubt you've done any of these exercises because most modern browsers take javascript, compile it into native code and cache which is about the fastest you're going to get javascript to run. Microsoft completely rewrote it's rendering engine multiple times the latest of which is Edge. Firefox, Chrome and Safari have all had similar efforts. I've been a web developer for a number of years and I can tell you, the stuff we have now is lightning fast.
You try serving up a web page to Netscape Navigator using a cgi-bin perl script from an old version of Apache and let us know if you think modern tech is still slow.
It just appalls me. No matter how much better we make technology there is always a generation that comes along and tells us all of our effort are crap because they think everything needs to be bigger, better, faster. If you want to complain, you get engaged and make it what you think it ought to be. Until then you have no room to complain if you're just going to comment from the peanut gallery. Gah.
Yep, I had quite some success, having more separate room with my computing equipment in it, to work at.
I do understand your concern very well
I might be a little different than most of you. I live in the USA and here the economy has been abysmal for almost 10 years. Longer working hours, expectations management like "I expect you to produce unicorns from your code" aka not even questioning reasonable expectations. I suppose you might classify me in the burnout category. In reality I'm just counting down the days to retirement at this point. Everything I loved about what I do isn't present in a corporate job but I need the money to support my family. When I don't have spare time because the corporate job keeps encroaching on it, I can't do what I like in a capacity that would bring joy to my life. Therefore, I am very much on guard about my personal space and time because in my experience employers will do anything and everything they can to take it all away from you so that you can serve their interest. See why I'm very defensive? I hope this job market changes in 2017. I really do. It used to be somewhat fun.
it is hard to hold them accountable when they mess things up, drag out the schedule from being distracted and inefficient, or just plain not caring.
You might as well get out of management bro. You are going make yourself and your reports miserable with your judging, generalizing, micro-management style. Do yourself and your employees a favor.
I relocated my home office from my bedroom to the fully finished basement so that I could create a separation from personal life and student + work life.
It doesn't matter for me. It's the fact that work is inside the perimeter of my home. I have an office with an L shaped desk where both my work and personal computer are. It's convenient for lunch breaks because I can blast some people at DOOM for lunch but the voip phone is always there. Even if I relocated it to my basement other personal things are in the space as well. I suppose if I had a detached one room dwelling that might work.
Software dev here. Going to the office is worst part of the job. Dressing in uncomfortable clothes, sitting in a freezing office, while classic rock blasts on repeat over the speakers. Always looking for a remote job so i don't have to deal with that shit any more.
I work remotely 100% and while I would say I prefer it over the office, it is a double-edged sword. Many of my co-workers are poor communicators and collaborators. Working remotely makes it much more difficult. Then there is the way I think it's sold to executive management which is essentially that employees will work more hours and be more available thus crushing work/life balance. I can tolerate what I do for a living but I want a division between it and my personal life. Working remotely makes it harder to establish and maintain that division. If anyone knows of a 100% remote developer job that is good in this regard, let me know.
This treatment can help rejuvenate you in the sense that it can make you look and feel younger but it doesn't "reverse the aging process". In order to do that, it would require our telomeres to recover length to allow more cell division. It is the telomeres that cause us to ultimately die because when the cells can no long divide things break down, you get sick and you die. I didn't see anything in the article that described what it does to affect the true aging process. At best, this can raise the quality of life in the latter years which is certainly a welcome improvement.
According to a statement from Virgin Media, the issue affects "anyone who wants to access the Internet from a computer with the downloaded Windows 10 software update, regardless of the ISP."
Phew! I was really concerned that it might only affect AOL users.
